ODE TO BASIC GREY'S JUNE BUG!

It is no secret that I'm in love with Basic Grey. Each collection is a must-have in my book and the June Bug is no exception no matter what some might think ( she'll know who she is! ) It's a very rich collection, one that reminds me of Christian Lacroix or Kenzo, a delicious mixed bag of plaid, English Chintz, American Quilt, French polka dots and Water Color solid cardstock.Enough talk, let's share a few things I made using that collection.

WOW Alexandra - what you have done with these papers looks spectacular! I haven't see the new BG collection - I sometimes find BG to rustic and 'shabby chic' but you have used it beautifully. I LOVE your little box of meringues - gorgeous!

you have such a way with patterned paper, that i am beyond sure you could make anything look wonderfully wonderful. this is by no means any exception. by virtue of the spin you put on this collection, i think it is great, and now feel a NEED to find it myself. i would have probably passed it by on the shelf (save for the red polka dot...THAT might have caught my eye).the photos of your daughter are also beyond sweet. and i am going to lift that card for sure!and don't think i did not notice the stitching on those cards as well.all is beautiful!
